Healthy Snacks for Healthy Kids!

Children get about 25% of their daily calories from snacks, so plan to have a satisfying snack that is also nutritious. Include at least 2 main food groups in snacks - ideally a protein source like diary, meats or peanut butter and a carbohydrate for energy such as whole grains, fruit or vegetables.

Portion control is important when planning snacks to avoid over-indulging. Pre-portion snacks in individual containers and snack-size zip-lock bags making snacks easy to grab and go!
